1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Amaryllidaceae alkaloids (AAs) represent a diverse class of plant specialized metabolites and many display potent pharmacological activities. The AA metabolic pathway is poorly understood and resources are minimal. To enable AA pathway elucidation and novel biosynthetic enzymes discovery, we generated comprehensive metabolomic and corresponding transcriptomic datasets from different tissues of Narcissus pseudonarcissus 'King Alfred'. In this study, we performed untargeted UPLC-QTOF-MS metabolite analysis from different tissues, which generated exhaustive list of compounds, including several AAs, most predominant and diverse in bulbs. RNA sequencing of N. pseudonarcissus 'King Alfred' bulbs yielded 195,347 transcripts, after assembly. Top expressed genes belong to process like metabolism, survival, and defense including alkaloid biosynthetic genes. The transcriptome contained complete sequences for all proposed genes encoding AA-biosynthetic enzymes such as tyrosine decarboxylase (TYDC1 and TYDC2), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL1 and PAL2) and phenolic acids hydroxylases (C4H and C3H) to name a few. Furthermore, transcriptome data were validated using RT-qPCR analysis and expression study in different tissues of N. pseudonarcissus 'King Alfred' was performed. Here, we present the first comprehensive metabolome and transcriptome study from N. pseudonarcissus 'King Alfred' providing invaluable resources for metabolic engineering and biotechnological applications.
